Assuming you are running a 100meg network, ensure the workstations are
configured for 100meg full duplex operation (not auto) and your switch
ports are configured similarly.

isn't that a windows problem? maybe you can run dhcpd with wins/dns .......

# dhcpd.conf
# Change domain-name to your domain name.
option domain-name "test.test.com";
option domain-name-servers 24.205.1.62;
